Everyone who is not age 80 and above grew up with a Disney Princess. And at one point or another, a young girl once dreamed of becoming like her favorite princess—may it be the kindhearted Snow White or the independent Belle or the determined Anna—and perhaps channel her beauty.
Now, young girls and even older women in the Philippines can put on a tiara and unleash the princess in them as Disney partners with homegrown makeup label Happy Skin for a limited edition range of lippies featuring eight Princesses.
“Disney approached us (via e-mail) and asked us if we were interested in doing a collaboration,” Happy Skin co-founder Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez told Manila Standard. “We were very ecstatic and thrilled that a global brand has recognized a local brand like Happy Skin.”
Disney’s latest partnership is in line with its direction to elevate its brand status and cater to young women, who would love to put on a makeup inspired by its Princesses.
Ten months since the two have begun talking—Yuengtian-Gutierrez shared that Disney officials checked each factory that creates their products—Happy Skin officially rolled out their Disney Princess Makeup Collection.
